Virtual Directory Browsing in IIS Is what in OSX Server?

Ok, forgive my ignorance. I am coming from a better understanding of Microsoft IIS..
Basically what I am looking for is.. In my Windows Server I would have a Partition Drive with a letter.. lets say e:\ and call the drive docs with data files saved on it. I would then go into IIS and setup a Virtual Directory of that E drive.. So then I could have people own a browser at www.website.com/docs and from there it would list all the files allow them me to download what they needed.... Yes, I know there is also a VPN option.. However, this is easier for my case...
I think in Apache it would show a page and in bold letters "Index Of /" then list all the contents in that drive or folder..
I have tried looking up what it would be called in Apache.. Yet not yielded much luck..
Anyone have ideas?

Yes! You are correct, I actually got it to work about 5 mins ago.. Thank you for the reply..
I found a manual from Apple "web tech" that says to insert:
<Directory "/Users/refuser/Sites"> Options Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all</Directory>
I inserted this into the /etc/apache2/sites/website.conf file or even the Virtual_Host_Global.conf file
I changed the directory to the path I have the "Aliases and Redirects" such as /Volumes/Web
Works great!
HOWEVER....... I have noticed.. that every time I then goto edit something in the Server Admin Console for Apache.. It removes the code out of the .conf files..
I have tried making .htaccess files in the Drive with no luck or even adding a httpd.conf and no luck..
It does seem to give Directory indexing when I add it into the location listed above.. yet no where else.. kind of stumped again..
Any ideas?

What does OSX server offer over OSX ?

I see the documentation on Server, but am a little confused - I guess I've been subjected to Windoze too long ...
OSX provides ftpd, PHP server, httpd, Apache server, ...
Is this correct?
So plain old OSX has some pretty substantial server functions, as compared to WinXP vs WinXP server. Plain old WinXP does not even have ftpd.
I guess I am somewhat confused, and my real concern is does plain old OSX really provide the basic server functions mentioned above out-of-the-box?
Thanks

Wsconfig drops CFIDE virtual directory

We are running into an issue when adding sites using the wsconfig tool. Here's our setup: Windows 2k8 R2, IIS 7.5, CF 9 multiserver configuration with 4 instances running.
We have a site all setup in IIS with a virtual directory created for CFIDE (points to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cfide, the default/install path for cfide). We then go into the wsconfig tool (Run As Administrator) and add this new site to an instance. Immediately the CFIDE virtual directory disappears within IIS, whether we choose to restart IIS or not. We check the "configure server for ColdFusion box" when adding.
I've checked the wsconfig.log, but it shows nothing, no errors, just one line "[date] [time] info Macromedia JRun 4.0 (Build 108858)" - that's it. Everything else is fine, adds all the correct handler mappings, etc. and the site works fine, just missing cfide virtual directory which is needed as we use a couple CF tags that load JS files under there to work...
We go in afterwards and re-add the CFIDE virtual directory and it seems to stick unless we mess with wsconfig again, so we have a work-around, just an extra step and puzzled as to why this would happen. We have hundreds of sites to setup, so would save some time to fix this.
Anyone else ever run across this situation before?

Cfarleyaz, you say you’re on “CF 9”, but can you be more specific? Technically, only CF 9.0.1 and above (9.0.2 or 10) supports IIS 7. If you’re on CF9.0, then Adobe does not formally support you running CF with IIS 7, except in IIS 6 compatibility mode. People got it to work, but it involved manual steps (perhaps including dealing what you’re noticing).
If you are experiencing what you are with CF 9.0.1 or above, then let us know if you are running IIS in IIS 6 compat mode? It may make a difference in what someone may propose to help.
While we’re on the subject, folks should note that things are indeed quite different about CF web server config with IIS 7 and CF 9.01 and above. For instance, it no longer works that newly created sites inherit the settings from the “all web sites” configuration. Instead (as discussed in the CF 9.0.1 doc, Configuring and Administering CF9), you have to rerun the web server config tool each time you add a new site (that you want to connect to CF).
Hope that’s helpful.

What is Exchange Virtual directory and its role?

Hello there,
I am new to Exchange and I started reading about Exchange Virtual directories. I am struggling to understand the concept behind Virtual directories in Exchange and what is the role of this component. Can someone please shed some light and better yet supplemental
information to help me understand the concepts behind it? Let me know please. I am looking forward to any reply that would help.
Regards,
Lotusmail1
Franz Garcia

Hi,
Thank you for your question.
Exchange virtual directory is a directory which store some necessary URL to point to correspondent web page, those URL can provide service for user by Exchange server. it include the following component:
On Exchange CAS server:
Autodiscover: An important function of the Autodiscover service is to provide access to features for clients that are connected to your messaging environment. These features include the web-based offline address book (OAB), the Availability service, and
Unified Messaging (UM). The Autodiscover service must be deployed and configured correctly for clients to automatically connect to features.
ECP: The Exchange Control Panel is a Web application that runs on a Client Access Server providing services for the Exchange organization. This Exchange Control Panel is installed automatically when you install a Client Access server. To manage Exchange
from just about anywhere, you simply need to enter the URL path for the application in your browser’s Address field. You can then access the Exchange Control Panel. By default, the Exchange Control Panel URL is
https://yourserver.yourdomain.com/ecp.
EWS: Exchange Web Services virtual directories support the calendar sharing and other functionality offered by Exchange Web Services. The Exchange Web services included in Exchange provide an XML messaging interface that enables you to manage Exchange store
items and access Exchange server functionality from client applications.
Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync: Exchange ActiveSync is a client protocol that lets you synchronize a mobile device with your Exchange mailbox.
OAB: An offline address book (OAB) is a copy of an address list collection that’s been downloaded so a Microsoft Outlook user can access the address book while disconnected from the server. Microsoft Exchange generates the new OAB files and then compresses
the files and places them on a local share. You can decide which address lists are made available to users who work offline, and you can also configure the method by which the address books are distributed.
OWA: By default, when you install Microsoft Exchange 2013, you enable Outlook Web App. Microsoft Outlook Web App lets users access their Exchange mailbox from almost any Web browser.The Client Access server role provides proxy and redirection services for
Outlook Web App.
PowerShell: The Exchange Management Shell, built on Windows PowerShell technology, provides a powerful command-line interface for Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 that enables automation of administrative tasks. With the Shell, you can manage every aspect
of Exchange. You can enable new email accounts, create Send and Receive connectors, configure database properties, manage distribution groups, and more. The Shell can perform every task that can be performed by the Exchange Administration Center (EAC) plus
things that can't be done in the EAC. In fact, when you do something in the EAC, it's the Shell that's doing the work behind the scenes
On Exchange mailbox server:
PowerShell: this is the same with front CAS server.
We could refer to the following link:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg247612(v=exchg.150).aspx
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.

MP Related Logs and IIS Virtual directory not created After re_installation of SCCM 2007

Hi
We have re-installed the IIS and SCCM secondary site. tried to intsall the MP role and DP role but it has not created any logs or IIS virtual directory in the secondary site server which is in WAN link.
Trouble shooting:
- checked the ports 443,445 and 80
- Disabled symantec
- exchanged the public key ( still it is in progress in Despooler log)
- checked the site to site permission and added the accounts.
please suggest further.

Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up.
What error(s) are you getting within the logs? Without these details there isn’t much anyone can do to help you.

CA / NDES Virtual Directory Structure Missing in IIS 7 unable to implement SSL for ADMIN sites

We've recently finiallized both an Enterprice 2008 R2 CA and NDES service installtion configuration. All services are running, to include web enrollment for both. CA sits on a DC, as required, and the NDES roll sits on a standalone machine.
All service generated certificates / templates are in place and or issued including SSL certificates for service web front ends.
I'm trying to take the next step in hardening both of the web front ends by requiring SSL web validation and client SSL authentication.
Problem: When examining the site structures, CA and NDES, within the IIS7 configuration manager the following inconsistancies are present:
     Enterprise CA:
               o No virtual directory is configured or listed under the Certsrv or Enrollment sub-sites, however as previously stated all servies are up and operational.
    2.        NDES:
               o IIS7 configuration manager doesn't list any Certsrv sub-site, but once again all services are up and runniing. I can process SCEP requests via the web.
                   The following 2 items are listed under the default site on the NDES service machine: Rpc and RpcWithCert
                   In past experience I would expect those items to be associated with Exchange, but since NDES is new to me they may be standard.
Not to state the obvious but all Sys32 files and folders are correct as both services are running properly. Can anyone tell me if I've missed some critical article on AD CS or IIS7 that tells me why these 2 conditions are present.
Since the Certsrv sub-site exists on the CA I would assume a normal SSL bind will work, but with critical items missing from within IIS7 (at least from my view) i don't want to compound the problem.. Since there is no Certsrv
structure on the NDES machines I'm not sure what the best way to proceed is. Any help would be greatly appreicated.
V/R BE

CA / NDES all function properly. I'm still reseaching proper IIS 7 SSL implementation, when the virtual directory and sub-site structer is either missing or imcomplete when viewed from within the IIS7 manager.
These services where put into production without a thurough configuration check prior to implementation, so I don't have a test environment setup at the moment to just start playing. I'm thinking this weekend I'm going to have to VSS the current
machines and throw them on the Dev network and see how badly I can break them.

How to reinstall PowerShell Virtual Directory in IIS 7.5, Exchange 2010 SP1?

Hi, When reinstalling CAS role, accidently removed Powershell virtual directory in IIS and also the powershell folder under ClientAccess folder. Now EMC and EMS not working, all with Kerbrose error and WinRM error. How could I restore PowerShell virtual
directory and make it fully functional without a fully reinstall of EX2010? I tried manually add it in IIS and copy the web.config from another EX2010 server but failed. Can't access its module settings in IIS. How to recreate them? Any Powershell script(but
not the exchange one) can do the job?

Virtual Directory for NDES server missing on IIS

I installed an NDES server on windows 2008 R2 Enterprise server. I am able to connect to the website via the url
http://<severname>certsrv/mscep and
http://<servername>certsrv/mscep_admin. I can successfuly issue certs with the following urls also.
but if I look in the IIS Managment Console I am unable to view the certsrv directory even if I am logged on as an enterprise admin. Does anyone know how to make those directories appea?
The only way I have been able to make the Certsrv directory viewable is to also install the WebEnrollment service also.
I dont need the webenrollment service but I need to enable https on those directories.
Does anyone know what might be going on?

You don't need a virtual directory in order to manage NDES. The whole thing installs as an ISAPI application. Manage it through the link
http://localhost/certsrv/mscep_admin/. If you are having some trouble with NDES, check out
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/9063.network-device-enrollment-service-ndes-in-active-directory-certificate-services-ad-cs-en-us.aspx that discusses NDES quite thoroughly.
As for verifying your installation, check the Application Pools in IIS and the registry settings HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\MSCEP\

HFM Question : What could corrupt a virtual directory ?

Hello Gurus,
    Sometimes I have been facing an issue with consolidation app when opening it from workspace.
    I'm trying to load this app, in to HFM 11.1.2.2. I was able to deploy the application, however, when I try to open it from Applications > Consolidation > AGGCONS to load data I'm getting the following error :
"The following exception has occurred in DataControlFactoryImpl.createSession(): oracle.jbo.JboException com a mensagem: JBO-29000:Unexpected exception caught: oracle.adf.model.adapter.AdapterException, msg=DCA-29000: Unexpected exception caught: oracle.epm.fm.common.exception.HFMException, msg= {D0084996-C813-4113-92FA-81202489222A}1-2147023878106/09/2013 15:46:51HYPDCHFMWHCHFMCASSecurity.cpp5411.1.2.2.300.3774-2147023878006/09/2013 15:46:51HYPDCHFMWHCHsxClient.cpp526611.1.2.2.300.3774"
      I've found a possible solution at Oracle Support : Financial Management Error "JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught..." When Attempting to Access Consolidation Administration in Workspace. (Doc ID 1457676.1). However, it's not exactly the same error, but the solution related to my issue was similar. This article state that :
"The Financial Management web server configuration does not complete succesfully, the virtual directory in IIS called "hfmapplicationservice" is not available under "Default Web Site". To resolve this issue run the EPM System Configurator and on the HFM web server and choose "Configure web server" for Financial Management product to re-create the virtual folder (hfmapplicationservice)."
      When I follow the instructions above, I've got to open up the app without any problem. But in two or three days the same error happens again.
      I'm suspecting about the user but don't know enough about Consolidation Application to affirm that.
      Then I'd like to know if would be possible some kind of a "bad app use" to corrupt some files from this virtual directory that is mapped in IIS that the only solution is recreate this virtual directory.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Are you an administrator in the HFM servers?

Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.

I've copied a .NET application from an older 2008 server running IIS 7.0.600.16386 to a newer 2008 R2 server running 7.5.7600.16385. The .NET framework version is 4.0.30319. I've setup an application pool and copied the wwwroot directory.
I've checked for nested web.config files and I've been reading a lot about converting the site to an application. The older server running the application is still up and running and the configurations look identical. If I convert the site to an
application the icon changes and doesn't look like it does on the old server. I'm new and still learning the basics of programming and publishing applications. Can someone point me in the right direction? I've been on google for a few days
to no avail. Thanks.

How to create an IIS virtual directory programmatically?

All-
Is it possible to create an IIS virtual directory
programmatically using Coldfusion? Is there some set of server
objects that could be tapped into using COM, for example?
Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.

You should be able to do this (as well as all other
administrative tasks) using CFEXECUTE, Windows Scripting Host, and
IIS management object. Read IIS documentation. It contains tons of
ready-to-use scripts.

Servlet, Tomcat 3.3, IIS virtual directory access denied

Hello people,
I've set up Tomcat to run as a service with a domain log on usr/pswd. IIS works fine redirecting servlet requests to Tomcat via ISAPI redirector. All on Windows 2000 Server.
The problem:
The java application creates and reads files from a location which corresponds to an IIS virtual directory and is also a local directory with respect to the Tomcat and IIS installation. The application is denied access to this directory when submitting a network path (\\server/drive/directory/) where to store and read files, but is happy when a local path is given instead (E:/) Why? The domain user should have complete access to this. Is it Tomcat, IIS, or java restrictions?
I appreciate any suggestion on this
Thanks

The problem would be with the logon that you have Tomcat running under. Writing to a file accessed by network share (\\server\share) is not a problem under Java as long as the logon has appropriate privileges. If you are writing to something of the form \\server\c$\directory, as it sounds like you might be, the logon may need administrator access to the box (in order to see \\server\c$).

IIS refuses to serve one specific file through this one specific virtual directory

Other javascript files with the same extension in the same folder work fine. Other virtual directories with the same file work fine.
Any help? Detailed error message is at the bottom.
Problem Details:
Only this combination of virtual directory and file fails http://localhost/jslib/vin.js
Accessing other javascript files in the same location works. i.e. http://localhost/jslib/xvin.js returns fine.
Accessing the same javascript file in the same file location but using a different virtual directory works. i.e. http://localhost/jslibtest/vin.js returns fine.
I checked the security of the file and the folder and gave "Everyone" and the anonymous authentication account set up for the site read rights.
Changing the name of the file (and nothing else) works.
Running Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter
Web site application pool is running as "LocalSystem", Classic pipeline, .NET v4.0

Removing and re-creating the virtual directory with default settings (through IIS Manager)
IISReset
Setting the handler mappings for the virtual directory to "revert to parent" (file works fine when served from the root). Yes, the static file handler is defined.
Setting the MIME types of the virtual directory to "revert to parent" (file works fine when served from the root). Yes, .js is listed as a MIME type application/javascript/
Deleting the file and re-creating it from scratch

Send a file that resides above the virtual directory to the browser using ASP.

How do you send a file that resides above the virtual
directory to the browser using ASP.
this doesn't work:
<% Response.Redirect(Server.Mappath("..\..\..\files\"
& rsgetefile("filename"))) %>

Basically you can't send a person to the location as that
would totally
defeat the purpose of placing files above the virtual root.
You can stream a
file from a page on the site if you use the physical location
on the server
to call it.
